    Abstract: Data on the growth (20 species) and productivity (19 species) of Antarctic and subantarctic macrobenthos were compiled from published and unpublished sources. Differences in the production/biomass (P/B) ratio between Antarctic, Arctic and non-polar populations were examined using a set of 363 data arrays (327 non-polar, 26 Antarctic, 10 Arctic). Each array contained annual P/B ratio, mean individual body mass, geographical latitude, water depth, bottom water temperature and the nominal variables TAXON (Mollusca, Crustacea, Polychaeta, Echinodermata) and REGION (Antarctic, Arctic, non-polar). The P/B ratio was found to vary with body mass, taxon, temperature and water depth. P/B ratios of Antarctic and Arctic populations were significantly lower than those of non-polar populations. For Antarctic populations this difference could be explained completely by the effects of temperature and water depth. The strikingly high biomass of many Antarctic benthic communities is probably related to adaptations to low and oscillating food levels, and particularly to the low maintenance energy requirement associated with the low ambient temperature.

    Abstract: The population biology of the stout razor clam Tagelus plebeius is poorly understood, despite the species' current wide distribution, and the potential use of its Holocene shell deposits to infer past environmental and ecological conditions. This study investigates distribution and growth pattern of T. plebeius in the south-western Atlantic Mar Chiquita Coastal lagoon (37°32′S 57°19′W), Argentina. The population includes the oldest individuals (up to 27 years) reported so far with shell length up to 77.9 mm. A von Bertalanffy model with L ∞ = 67.60 mm (95% CI = 64.55; 70.64), k = 0.181 year −1 (CI = 0.142; 0.218), and t 0 = −0.77 (CI = −1.46; −0.08) best described their individual growth for the whole population. The higher density, growth rate k, t 0 and maximum age and lower L ∞ were in the low intertidal rather than in the medium intertidal, but there were no differences in density and age between medium and high intertidal. Given the results and the current knowledge on the effects of different factors influencing this species, we conclude that the distribution pattern and shell growth observed in our study reflect a response to metabolic necessities in combination with a strong influence of biological interactions.

    Influence of temperature on the larval development of the edible crab, Cancer pagurus
    Cambridge University Press (CUP) ; 2009

    In: Journal of the Marine Biological Association of the United Kingdom, Cambridge University Press (CUP), Vol. 89, No. 4 ( 2009-06), p. 753-759
    Abstract: The influence of temperature on larval survival and development was studied in the edible crab, Cancer pagurus , from a population off the island of Helgoland, North Sea. In rearing experiments conducted at six different temperatures (6°, 10°, 14°, 15°, 18° and 24°C), zoeal development was only completed at 14° and 15°C. Instar duration of the Zoea I was negatively correlated with temperature. A model relating larval body mass to temperature and developmental time suggests that successful larval development is possible within a narrow temperature range (14° ± 3°C) only. This temperature optimum coincides with the highest citrate synthase activity found at 14°C. A comparison for intraspecific variability among freshly hatched zoeae from different females (CW 13–17 cm, N = 8) revealed that both body mass and elemental composition varied significantly. Initial larval dry weight ranged from 12.1 to 17.9 μg/individual, the carbon content from 4.6 to 5.8 μg/individual, nitrogen from 1.1 to 1.3 μg/individual, and the C:N ratio from 4.1 to 4.4. A narrow larval temperature tolerance range of C. pagurus as well as the indication of intraspecific variability in female energy allocation into eggs may indicate a potential vulnerability of this species to climate change. Large-scale studies on the ecological and physiological resilience potential of this commercially fished predator are needed.

    A tool to evaluate accessibility due to sea-ice cover: a case study of the Weddell Sea, Antarctica

    Abstract: Sea ice is the major constraint on human activities in the Southern Ocean. Depending on a vessel's ice class, human mobility may be restricted or even prevented altogether by sea-ice conditions. This may imply limited access to research or monitoring stations, preferred fishing grounds or attractive tourist sites. Here, we introduce a statistical model that evaluates the sea-ice cover with two measures: 1) accessibility (i.e. the probability that a given area is navigable by vessels at a given time) and 2) repeated accessibility (i.e. the probability that a given area is navigable by vessels at a given time and again at least once within a defined timespan). We use daily sea-ice concentration data from 2002 to 2020 to demonstrate this tool and its functioning regarding the spatiotemporal variability of sea-ice cover in the wider Weddell Sea region. These findings reflect known characteristics of sea-ice distribution and dynamics in the Weddell Sea, confirming the functionality of our simple tool for determining repeated accessibility of certain areas. Such a tool may facilitate the planning of research and monitoring activities in the Southern Ocean, as well as in Arctic seas.

    Determination of Growth and Age of Slow Growing Brittle Stars (Echinodermata: Ophiuroidea) From Natural Growth Bands
    Cambridge University Press (CUP) ; 1998

    Abstract: Growth in ophiuroids is highly variable, and with increasing size and age of an ophiuroid specimen more and more of the innermost growth rings on the vertebral ossicles become overgrown and hence invisible. Two approaches to estimate individual age of slow growing brittle stars using the high Antarctic species Ophionotus victoriae are compared. One method interprets natural growth ring readings as size-increment data, whereas the second method compensates for growth ring overgrowth by means of an iterative corrective approach. Preconditions as well as advantages and disadvantages of both methods are discussed.

    Growth and age of the Antarctic bryozoan Cellaria incula on the Weddell Sea shelf

    In: Antarctic Science, Cambridge University Press (CUP), Vol. 11, No. 4 ( 1999-12), p. 408-414
    Abstract: We analysed growth of the arborescent Antarctic cheilostome bryozoan Cellaria incula by stable carbon and oxygen isotope analysis. The growth of one complete branch of C. incula takes one year, i.e. owing to the bifurcate colony structure two new branches grow from each branch of the previous generation. The maximum age of a C. incula colony is likely to be more than 14 years. Annual production-to-biomass ratio is 0.67, the highest value hitherto measured for any benthic invertebrate south of 62°S. Comparatively fast growth and high productivity identify C. incula as a pioneer species which is able to quickly occupy spatial niches produced by iceberg scouring on the Antarctic shelf.

    Population dynamics of Sterechinus antarcticus (Echinodermata: Echinoidea) on the Weddell Sea shelf and slope, Antarctica

    Abstract: Sterechinus antarcticus inhabits the shelf and the slope of the Weddell Sea and is the predominant echinoid between 450 and 1200 m. Growth lines visible in the half pyramids of the Aristotle's lantern were interpreted as annual growth marks. A Von Bertalanffy growth function was fitted to age-diameter data of 217 specimens (D ∞ = 82.4 mm, K = 0.017 y −1 , t 0 = 1.633 y). Based on 92 trawl samples, a representative size-frequency distriution of S. antarcticus was established. From the growth curve, the size-frequency sample and diameter - weight regressions, mortality and somatic productivity of S. antarcticus were calculated by a size-converted catch curve and the weight specific growth rate method. Gonadal productivity was estimated by an average value for reproductive output of cold water echinoderms. Mortality rate Z as'well as somatic P/B ratio amounted to 0.07 y −1 . Annual somatic production was estimated as 0.3 mg m −2 y −1 , and annual gonadal production as 0.25 mg m −2 y −1 between 100 and 1200 m (0.6 and 0.5 mg m −2 y −1 between 450 and 1200 m).
